[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1651448, member: 37941"] Yes. All the hay/roughage they can eat. As others noted -- if you separate the animals meant for slaughter you can feed them a different ration and 'possibly' finish them earlier than 24 months. I say possibly because Wagyu animals/crosses do tend to grow slower (and I don't know much about Galloway cattle). In my experience a Wagyu X Angus cross from a growy cow can finish in the 16-18 month window (not pushed crazy on feed). But I've had Wagyu crosses from smaller/slower growth cows that do simply take longer to finish. I've got 2 right now that will head to slaughter at 20 and 22 months. [/QUOTE]
